Bottle at the blending room. Crystal clear golden color white edge head. Aroma of funk, dust, cobwebs with sweaty animals watching from a safe distance. Taste rivals any gueuze coming out if that country that lost to France. Holy cow. Glad they’ll be making more like this.

Bouteille 75cl @ Annual Tilquin Enthusiasts Admin tasting, merci Pierre. Blend 2015-2016. Dorée, finement organe, col léger blanc. Arôme offre de fines effluves de funk, fruité modéré et rétro de grains. Notes classiques sur côté sauvage, cave. Palais est sec presque légèrement poudreux, funk, avec un petit effet levure chimique sur le retrait. Citrique avec une pointe aigrelette, le tout est moyen et gardant un clair caractère américain.

Bottle shared with Yves & Jan Panneels, Beth Mckenzie, and Eddie Chimmie @ the Brewery, weekend of the release. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! pours blonde, good white head. Smell is funky, some wood, bit tart. complex. Taste is very full. bit malty, still, very nicely balanced and intense, complex flavors of oak, funk, brett, tartness, ... very, very well made geuze-style beer. Can't wait to try the full bottle I brought back when it has had some time on it, but it drinks amazing as it is right now.

Bouteille au Bières et Saveurs 2017. Couleur orangée pâle voilée, mousse blanche laissant une fine dentelle. Arôme de levures sauvages, cuir, parmesan, pointe d'alcool. Goût de levures sauvages, légere astringence, acidité moyenne-faible, très sèche. Carbonatation moyenne-faible, corps moyen. Vraiment intéressant! Comme le dit si bien punkska101, une visite est maintenant dans les plans!
